Kue rangi is a Betawi snack (Betawi is addressed for the descendants people who live in Batavia - the old colonial name for Jakarta).

The small tin pan to make Kue Rangi.

The ingredients are so simple. It's only made from grated old coconut, sago (powdery starch from certain sago palms) and salt.

The way of making Kue Rangi.The heating process on the tin pan is about less than 5 minutes.

A special paper plate made for the Kue Rangi.

Then, pour the aren sugar sauce (gula aren) on the top.

The Aren sugar sauce is actually palm sugar. It has a sweet and nice aroma because this palm sugar is made from sweet liquid that comes out from a specific palm flower.Crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside with rich plus sweet taste and smell, that's the best description I can give about this authentic snack :)

Where did u find this guy ?I just love Kue Rangi..... :DIt's kinda hard to look for a Kue Rangi seller nowadays.... :(I couldn't find one when I was at Pasar Baru.I had one at Kafe Betawi for Rp. 16.000 and it wasn't as good.... a bit too hard and too chewy. I'll post the pic of the one I had and link to your post here :)

PS. I linked to your blog at my Link section :)I just love all the photo details on your blog.

HR: Rp. 16.000 for Kue Rangi? Hahaha... You must love it so much! Well, You can find the kue rangi vendor beside the SD Theresia in Central Jakarta (Jl. Lombok). But make sure, that you go there around lunch time :)

Can't wait to see your post of the kue rangi! Oh.. and thanks for linking me at your link section :)
